My Lore

When everything seems distant and cold,

A flood of sunshine is waiting at the window.

When plans and lists are all over the place,

A pause may help to clear some space.

When magnetic repulsion of doubt pushes back,

Courage to stand can drive me back on track.

When bad days bring uninvited guests of thought,

Putting them down may show the way out.

When the union of wants and needs are lost,

Go with the heart with fingers crossed.

When life gets hard to bear,

Unload some weight into a friend's ear.

When all the stories are about searching the seashore,

Living through the waves and storms is my lore.
